Personal Description:

I am a tutor who strives for my students to achieve the "slightly impossible". I am 37 years of age with >15 years experience in teaching Maths. I hold a degree in Medicine, an MSc, PhD and Chartered status (CEng, CSci, MIChemE). During weekdays I work fulll time for AstraZeneca as a lead for the Oncology portfolio.

** I guarantee a noticeable improvement in my students after approximately 4 sessions.

Tutoring Experience:

I have >15 yrs experience specialising in GCSE Maths.
Current and previous clients are from Eton College, Harrow School, Westminster Independent School, Mechant Taylor Independant School, Manchester Grammar School and Bolton Independant Girl School.
Numerous testimonies from past and present clients can be provided upon request

Tutoring Approach:

All students are different in their ability, confidence and understanding of Maths. However, our mission is to ensure that every pupil we encounter leaves with the same top grade (A*), the same high self-esteem and confidence with dealing with all variation of Maths that they will encounter after their GCSE’s.

As a rule of thumb, parents can expect the following:

Session 1: Students understanding of Maths is quickly understood with tutoring and homework provide for immediate improvement.

Session 2-5: Focus on ensure that the students basic understanding of fractions, algebra, trigonometry and numbers are well understood and practiced.

Session 6 onwards: Students confidence and ability should show a marked improvement by this point. The student should now be fully focused to achieve the highest of grades in a very short time. Past experience has demonstrated that most pupils can excel 2-3 yrs ahead of the class within a year of tuition. We can provide many testimonies to demonstrate these proud observations.

Due to his excellent , logical and practical teaching methods I now have a confident 9 year old daughter who is not overwhelmed by the subject is methodical and is willing to tackle Maths problems independently and with confidence.

GerardFrom Sophie (5/5): (GCSE Maths)Gerard started tutoring my 3 children aged 7, 10 and 15 in the summer term of this year.(GSCE and Primary Maths)

Gerards teaching methods are tailored to suit the individual needs of each of my children in a way that they understand. He can make the most challenging of lessons fun and enjoyable, which is a plus especially for my 7 year old.
Excellent Tutor, highly recommended

He is very friendly,patience and understanding he is very good in his way of explaining maths . my sons self esteem and confidence was very low but since Gerard has been tutoring him he is now graining more confindent we would highly recommend Gerard and My son also wishes he was his maths teacher at school too.

GerardFrom Kathy (5/5): (GCSE Maths)We've just started lessons and are delighted with the progress achieved already. Gerard is a very professional and organised teacher, tackling each problem in a considered and systematic way, working with the student to maximise their potential. The result is that after just a couple of lessons confidence is already starting to improve. We are confident that with Gerard's one-to-one coaching an improvement in the Grades will be achieved in this very important subject. Thank you very much, we are all very grateful!

GerardFrom Monica (5/5): (Primary Maths)Gerard has been teaching our daughter maths since August 2010. He is always punctual, accomodating and organised. Our daughter seems very comfortable with him. Her knowledge of maths and overall confidence is increasing. Gerard's lessons are a good balance of being a challenge as well as supportive. The feedback we receive from Gerard is detailed,accurate and always with a positive take on things. We are sure that our daughter will continue to improve with his help.

GerardFrom Cathy (5/5): (GCSE Maths)Very pleased with Gerard's tutoring. He has a very calm, considered outlook. My son's confidence towards his math's has been boosted, purely due to Gerard's help over the last few weeks.

GerardFrom Sharon (5/5): (Secondary Maths)My Daughter has now been having extra lessons with Gerard since early July. Before she began the lessons she quiet simply hated maths, had given up and homework was a battle !! Gerard quickly got to the route of the problem and worked with her to build confidence and knowledge of the basics. She is a different child around maths now - she happily does her homework, contributes in class and is getting top marks in both homework and tests in her set at school. Gerard has structured her approach to maths and understands her thought process when applying her learning this enables him to get to the heart of the issue quickly.I have no hesitation in recommending Gerard.

GerardFrom Eldor (5/5): (GCSE Maths)Gerard is doing a great job and Kristian is very satified with him. I give him my best recommendations.
